Has anyone lowered their B5?

If so, where did you get it done?

Did you use shocks and springs?

Any problems afterwards?

Positives and negatives?

Thanks :D

Get one of these as well . http://www.ukpassats.co.uk/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=2875

Or watch out for all those speed bumps. The B5's alloy sump dosn't like them very much.

i think perhaps u mite have to uprate the shocks to be honest , the boge springs i had on were quite comfortable and the 40mm drop iv had u can pretty much feels everythng on the road, just depends wot u can tollerate but then again also wot the car can tolerate, britains roads aint excactly the best now are they?
